Dead Island is a non-linear FPP (First Person Perspective) action RPG survival horror title published by Deep Silver and developed by Techland.

You are drawn into the world of Dead Island on the brink of a mysterious epidemic that suddenly, and without warning, breaks out on the fictional island of Banoi, located off the coast of Papua New Guinea. As a guest of the Royal Palms Resort, your stay was supposed to be a dream holiday; a luxurious getaway to the beautiful beaches of a tropical paradise. But faced with the reality of a zombie apocalypse, there is only one thing left to do: Survive.

Fight for your survival either as rapper Sam B., hotel desk clerk Xian Mei, former football star Logan, and bodyguard Purna. Of course it can also be very fun to play 4 player drop-in-drop-out co-op multiplayer with your friends or strangers, where they guide the other three characters.

Enter into the dark world of a devastated tropical paradise now plunged into chaos. It's a place where the word "dead" has an entirely new meaning. Face the nightmare and fight for survival. Explore the secrets hidden in the darkest regions of the island and fight your way through. Survival is your main goal!

The ultra-realistic combat system will ensure that every confrontation is a thrilling experience. Use anything you find in your surroundings as a weapon. Make decisions that influence the entire world around you. Take advantage of opponent behavior and game physics. Dead Island is a mix of intense action and chilling horror environments in an engaging, strikingly realistic story.

In the Bloodbath Arena DLC four different arenas offer new challenges that can be played alone or in co-op mode. It's a desperate fight for survival where waves after waves of unrelenting zombies attack, one more gruesome than the next! In this DLC, characters can loot experience points and items and bring them over to the campaign mode. Players can also show off their skills in zombie fighting with the newly implemented leaderboards.

The new mission-based DLC pack follows the story and perspective of the main game's antagonist character and allows players to experience the events on Banoi through his eyes. Players will take on the role of Ryder White as a playable character in a single player campaign with several hours of gameplay as well as brand new weapon blueprints.
